Mr.. Ilgenfritz discovered that there
was a clause in the lease with the
Western Union, that prohibited him
from renting any part of the same
building to any other telegraph com.
pany.
Mr.. Ilgenfritz did not think that
The building south was the same build

attorney, G. E. Yeater, commenced
an injunction suit before Judge Field,

granted temporary injunction in va

standing idle and to the end that
it might be occupied, Ilgenfrirz rented

When circuit court met Judge
Field, after hearing evidence, dissolved

istrative reform an original stroke of
craftsmanship on the one hand, nor on the
other is it a cruel device for turning Demo-
Gratis out of Office. 1t simply follows Repub-
lican precedent in reducing the number of
collection districts rapidly as business will
justify it. This has been done in former Re-
publican administrations, the revenue districts
being reduced to the smallest number that
was then considered wise. In following this
precedent the President does what his admin
istration has repeatedly done in other cases
recognizes the excellence of Republican adj
ministrative methods and their inability to i'm
prove on them. The fact that the order follows
Republican precedent shows that it is good
business sense. All the good this administra-
ton has done has been by adopting Republic

THE REVENUE CONSULTATIONS.

The recent order of the President consoli-
dating and reducing the number of internal
revenue districts has caused quite commo-
ton in Democratic circles, being variously
misiudged according to the various degrees of
misinformation that prevail in those quarters.
Thus the thick-and-thin supporters of the ad-
ministraton, who make business of indorsing
everything the President does whether they
understand it or not, hail the order as great
administrative reform and bold stroke of
craftsmanship. They seem to think it a new
departure in government and a surprising
proof of executive ability. Quite different is
the view taken by the men who have been
consolidated out of Office and by their personal
friends and following. They know they have
been hit and hurt, and, therefore, they regard
the order as great outrage They cannot
understand why anything should be done to
holders. 1t does not occur to them that the
public interests might sometimes demand
reduction in the number of offices and office
holders, or that ordinary business sense forbids
the employment of unnecessary number of
to do a particular work. From their
standpoint the main object of government is
to furnish offices for Democratic workers, and
when it fails to do this they have nc further
interest in it. AS the Presidents order has
turned them out of Office they Immediately
conclude that it could have had no other OBJ
ject than to carry CONSERVATION into the Dem
ocratic camp, and diminish the already insult
6cient supplies to be divided among the hun
cry Democratic hordes.
Both of these views are wide of the truth.

THE lecture of Gen. George A. Sheridan in
reply to Colonel Ingersoll, under the title of
ga Modern Pagan" is a masterpiece of
humor, satire, pathos and merciless dis
section. General Sheridan has long enjoyed
a reputation for rare oratorical powers, and
the people of Indianapolis and of the State
of Indiana, particularly, have had numerous
occasions to enjoy the flavor of his quality,
but in this lecture he rises to the height of
his powers The imagery is beautiful and
the rhetoric ornate and polished. The satire
and humor strike IngersoH on his own
plane, fairly ripping open the bag of
wind that the pagan initiates with
the east wind of his egotism. The
lecture is studded with mosaics of
word painting that have never been sur
passed by any master of language, while the
peroration is Oh sustained note that reaches
the sublime The lecture cannot be listened
to by anyone without intensifying of his
respect or his love, as the case may be, for
God. and the Bible, and the religion of Jesus
Christ. General Sheridans lecture will do
more than any other agency to utterly brush
away the falsehood and the glamour of Inger-
soils attacks upon the Christian faith. It af-
